She wrote;

"Yep. I am glad you remember what I’ve always said. Remember I said for long voicework was my main income stream because I had no fulltime acting work…in fact it was this consistent MTN work I was referring to.

I am sure some of them are. They still use the recordings made with the previous voice artist before I started doing the prompts in 2012

The recordings are called (ivr) internal voice recording. So the established style/tone of the recording voice.

I have done the voice for a while. But there were other artists who may be white who also did and those recording are still also used. Also, when I am not available, they use a similar voice, so the MTN phone voice stays consistent"

I’ve heard @jessicacitifm on a few MTN commercials. Don’t know if she does the ring back messages and prompts too but definitely @kgchristopher and Jessica are in an elite league of sweet African voices #Class #Legends."
